Our Christmas 2009 : One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I as six. - A Child's Christmas in Wales, Dylan Thomas.

Christmas Video : I grew up next to the Erie Lackawanna Railroad tracks in Scranton, PA. Just across the tracks was our play ground, a coal dump. My house was not more than 50 yards from a closed mine shaft which was in view of the Mount Pleasant breaker. Besides the daily trains carring coal, dump truck rummbled up and down Linden street just about every day. Every so often the truck would stop at our house. If I was home I would stand next to the coal chute as they loaded tons of coal into our basement for our winter fuel. I am not sure when my father put up the first Christmas train platform, but it seems that it was always a part of our Italian Polish Christmas. I've had my own train platform for Christmas at least 20 years. My platforms have always been part real memories, my imagination and traditions. Moutain paper - now painted butcher paper, coal, used dried coffee grounds for roads, mirrors for frozen lakes, lighted homes and main avenue, and so much more. Because of time and grown kids, this years platform was simplest and small, but it was still magic and it never fails to brings back such wonderful memories. Merry Christmas.

Riley Reunion 2008 : This famous surname can be either English or Irish. It is found in both countries in several and overlapping spellings including Riley, Ryley, Reily, Reely and Reilly, as well as the pure Gaelic McReilly, O'Reilly and O'Ralilly. It has two possible and quite distinct origins. In England the surname is usually locational, from the village of Riley Green near Blackburn or possibly Riley Hill, near Lichfield, in Staffordshire. Various publications also mention a place called Riley in Devonshire, but if such a place ever existed, that no longer seems to be the case. The meaning of the name is probably "Rye Farm" from the Olde English pre 7th century "rygh - leah", but other translations are possible such as Reed Farm. In Ireland the surname can be a planter surname from the same English source, but is more usually from the pre 10th century Gaelic O'Raghailligh, meaning the descendant of Raghallach, the latter being an early personal name. In the 16th century the Gaelic prefix was largely lost, but in some cases has been restored. The surname in its various forms is one of the most popular in Ireland, particularly in County Cavan and neighbouring counties, where they were known as the chiefs of Breffny. If you have any information about them, please send me an email or just leave a comment on the gallery. More photos to follow. Anyone interested in adding some photos to this gallery - email us at lastcow@knology.net or call us at (843)345-1467. Larry & Karen Laskowski

Family,Dougherty/Smoak/Riley : Family photos, some old - Johnson, Dougherty and Riley, Hungerpiller, Smoak; and some new - Laskowski, Williams and Walter. A work in progress. Words can paint a picture sharper than a photograph. I know you can take me back to times I'll never see. Got a lot of questions, there's so much I want to learn. You can make the pages turn in living history. "I want to know" - Robert Earl Keen.

60's and 70's, Scranton, PA - Talkin' bout my generation : Blue collar, hard working and friendly people - this was the Scranton I knew in the 1960s and 1970s. I grew up just a few blocks from downtown, next to railroad track. The same place my Mother's family lived since before the turn of the century. My Grandmother met Saint Francis Cabrini and was one of the first students to attend her school for Italian children. After that, every member of my family attended Cabrini and all of us graduated from West Side High School. I graduated in 1971, the same year that the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18, we started using unleaded gas, troop levels in Vietnam were lowered to 200,000, Charles Manson was sentenced to death (reduced to a life sentence), "All In The Family" was new on TV and a couple of Americans drove around the Moon in a "lunar buggy". It would be an understament to say that it was a dynamic time of change in the United states. The photos are in no particular order, but grouped loosely by subject or event. I'll continue to add photo as time permits. Photos Copyright, L. J. Laskowski, 2008. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THESE PHOTOS, OR CAN IDENTIFY PEOPLE, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT.
